Cupid's Greeting
Description
Framed within a composition of soft pastels and characteristic period lithography, this charming Victorian-era Valentine's Day greeting card depicts a fairy and a winged cherub in a whimsical scene. The left figure, a fairy in flowing pink with a shamrock crown, rides atop an ornate golden cart overflowing with large crimson hearts, shamrocks, a horseshoe, and an envelope, while a cherub on the right pulls the cart while holding a large red heart. Golden wheels and clover elements complete this sweetly romantic arrangement rendered in the delicate style of the era.
